How can I find my Webmaster Tools HTML file?
-
So, totally amateur hour here, but I can't for the life of me find our HTML verification file for webmaster tools. I see nowhere to look at it in Google Webmaster Tools console, I tried a site:, I googled it, all the info out there is about how to verify a site. Ours is verified, but I need the verification file code to sync up with the Google API and no one seems to have it. Any thoughts?

It was your second answer that did it. Here's a link to the documentation on it as well if anyone else runs across this thread. https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=140369&topic=2370564&ctx=topic
Once you say you want to change it it will give you the option to view details on your current verification file.

"Go into google webmaster tools and click add a site. Then go to the home dashboard (the main screen) > click manage site and then click verify site > click on the alternate methods in the verification tab and there is the html file option"
This was my orignial repsonse but only works if not verified sorry > if verified click manage site > add or remove users > manage site owners > verify using a different method.

Awesome, thank you. I knew it was in there somewhere!

Your html file will be in your root folder of your domain do you have ftp access?

Can't find mistake in robots.txt
Hi all, we recently filled our robots.txt file to prevent some directories from crawling. Looks like: User-agent: * Disallow: /Views/ Disallow: /login/ Disallow: /routing/ Disallow: /Profiler/ Disallow: /LILLYPROFILER/ Disallow: /EventRweKompaktProfiler/ Disallow: /AccessIntProfiler/ Disallow: /KellyIntProfiler/ Disallow: /lilly/ now, as Google Webmaster Tools hasn't updated our robots.txt yet, I checked our robots.txt in some ckeckers. They tell me that the User agent: * contains an error. **Example:** **Line 1: Syntax error! Expected <field>:</field> <value></value> 1: User-agent: *** **`I checked other robots.txt written the same way --> they work,`** accordign to the checkers... **`Where the .... is the mistake???`** ```

High pr doc files
I saw that the website www.comunicatedepresa.net outranks www.comunicatedepresa.ro for the therm "comunicate de presa" in google.ro SERP even though .ro beats .net in every seo indicator (links, domains linking, fb likes, g+, onpage etc) I saw that site:www.comunicatedepresa.net returns a lot of *.doc files with a title that contains the kw ("comunicate de presa"). Ex: www.comunicatedepresa.net/worddoc/1485/ It seems a little suspicios to me.Did anyone see this before (google giving higher importance to doc files)? Does anyone know why .net site is ranking better?
